sure. But really, the whole point of IRB is to make is POSSIBLE to bridge and route the same prtotocls over the same interfaces. This doesn't mean that you WANT to or HAVE to.
Shame on me for not having my Caslow handy, but perhaps the scenario requires IPX bridging only? Come to think of it, bridging of all protocls is ON by default.. I would expect to see the bridge 1 route IPX in this context. Maybe Caslow meant to ROUTE IPX?
